In a country sprawling with eminent builders and housing companies, one name has always warranted special mention – The Lodha Group. Established in 1980 and with projects across India and the United Kingdom including cities like London, it has always been associated with great architecture, luxury lifestyle and a status symbol like none other. However, the brand name that it carries sometimes has intimated customers presuming a hefty price tag. While some of the group’s luxury residence projects do go for a premium price, they do have enough projects which suit the pockets of both the premium and budget conscious buyers. One such project is the Lodha Palava Downtown in Dombivli East, Mumbai.
Dubbed as the City of Opportunity, Palava, a 4600-acre perfectly planned city is situated in close proximity to some the major local stations, namely Nilje, Dombivali, and Ghansoli. The Lodha Palava Downtown is spread across 60 blocks of thoughtfully designed lavish residences. It is located in the middle of Lodha Palava City, so residents would get maximum facilities & amenities to use & enjoy. Shopping malls, high-end street retails, large gardens, cineplexes, entertainment zones are all near to Lodha Downtown. Not to be overlooked of course is the fact that the projects also has around 20 odd schools and 20 odd hospitals, keeping both education and health care as a priority.
Keeping in mind the modern problems of time management and work-life balance, the project is located in the job triangle of Thane, Dombivali and Navi Mumbai, helping the residents with less commute time and more free time with family and friends. Approximate distances from various business districts and major hubs are as below:
- Dombivali station <20 mins
- Thane station < 30 mins
- Vashi < 30 mins
- Powai < 40 mins
As mentioned in the beginning, the project has been priced to appeal to a wide range of buyers. However, the pricing has not pushed the builder to cut any corners as far as amenities go. Indeed, no buyer will feel short-changed with the host of amenities on offer for anyone looking to make it their home. While basic amenities include Security, lift service, power backup, children’s play area and rainwater harvesting, it also boasts of leisure and convenience amenities like Swimming pool, Clubhouse, Library, and Intercom. Last but not the list, mindful of health and fitness needs of its residents, the project offers a treasure trove of Health and sports amenities – Gym, Yoga/meditation hall, Jogging track, Badminton and Basketball courts, Tennis courts and of course, indoor games.
It is natural to think that with such a wide array of amenities on offer, Builder might compromise on the specifications of the individual apartments itself. However true to the Lodha name and determined to keep the high standards it has set for itself intact, the project provides excellent specifications. While the bedroom has been provided with wooden flooring and air conditioning, the living and dining room proudly boasts of select Italian Marble flooring. The kitchen comes pre-fitted with designer modular setup and granite platform. Lastly, the toilets all come with high-quality Jaguar C.P fittings and imported, yes, imported sanitary ware.
To finally establish the fact that the project is meant to appeal to buyers cutting across budget constraints, a glimpse at the different kind of units the projects has to offer is sufficient. Varying between 783 sqft to 1494 sqft, buyers can choose from the below options:
- 1 BHK
- 2 BHK Optima (An additional bedroom, bathroom, separate pooja room and store room over 1 BHK)
- 2 BHK Ultima (2 large bedrooms with attached bathroom in master bedroom)
- 3 BHK Optima (Dedicated towers with only four homes at each floor)
- 3 BHK Ultima (The largest homes at Downtown with double-height terraces)
Additionally, there are also garden residences – units with private gardens of its own. The basic rate of the properties is Rs. 4777/sqft, which pegs the residences between a surprisingly affordable 37.4Lakhs for 1 BHKs to a very modest 71.37 Lakhs for 3 BHKs. These, of course, are the base prices.
